LJB Posted June 10 Posted June 10 entries finally dropped... pretty weak... should be a showcase for the most part... our greco team took second to Mexico last year in a shameful display, but, we are sending a much better squad this weekend... https://arena.uww.org/sport-event/show/1f164950-f993-6ef4-b4fe-b578317d0188
LJB Posted June 11 Author Posted June 11 if anyone is curious... US leg grabbers went undefeated in the first session... 1
LJB Posted June 11 Author Posted June 11 just realized the younger Bachmann brother is back to repping PUR and there... just lost in bronze medal match 9-4... still super young... pretty sure is still 17... i will let anyone jump to whatever conclusion they want...
LJB Posted June 11 Author Posted June 11 well, leg grabbing in the books... 9 golds and a silver... FWIW... the only wrestler the US faced who had any accolades outside of past pan ams tech smashed our guy at 65kg...
LJB Posted June 11 Author Posted June 11 apparently the above is a lie... our 74kg wrestled a former U20 bronze first round and handled his business...
bnwtwg Posted June 11 Posted June 11 Something about @LJB... Posting freestyle without being rude... Feels like an undercover cop at a party... 3 1 i am an idiot on the internet
LJB Posted June 12 Author Posted June 12 i do not talk crazy on leg grabbing particularly in international... it does not really hold my attention outside the absolute tip of the spear, but, whatever... hell... i have even begrudgingly given up my absolute abhorrence to folk and had to admit i enjoyed some matches this year... any previous hard feelings is way more a function of the thinnest of skins from anonymous forum nerds... 2 2
LJB Posted June 12 Author Posted June 12 ok... did my deeper dive on the men's style entry lists... i expect USA to win golds at- 55kg- Crosby... as athletic as anyone anywhere at anytime, but, a bit of a head case... it feels like he might be figuring out some stuff... 60kg- Black... next topic 63kg- Mannville... next topic 82kg- ARTSISHEUSKIY (admit to a copy and paste... not even going to try)... won gold last year at the Pan Am games... former U20 world team... has won matches in Europe... 130kg- Attao... next topic the other 5 weights are total toss ups to me... 67kg- Stephenson... first time he has rep'd the US internationally... has focused on greco exclusively for awhile, but, yet to make any impact... 72kg- Way... i know nothing about him... first time rep'n 77kg- Baldwin... i know nothing about him... first time rep'n... 87kg- Wyatt... know little... he did take bronze at Pan Am Games last summer... hopeful medal 97kg- Herzog... has made a couple of U20 teams before both times one and done... '24 U20 Pan Am bronze... hopeful medal the reality is there are only 2 other competitors competing against the US who have ever won any matches in Europe or Asia... anything could happen... but if everyone medals who should and we get at least 4 golds we should take back the team title... 1
LJB Posted June 12 Author Posted June 12 Max is posting clips with Way and Baldwin... their stock just went up...

LJB Posted June 12 Author Posted June 12 dude... i have never enjoyed as a pure spectator the NCAAs this year ever before... i finally had to admit to many that AAing is a bigger deal than i ever gave it credit for... that is my empty nester totally bored with everything that i was sold as a kid take on things... 1
LJB Posted June 13 Author Posted June 13 (edited) quick update going into medal rounds of the men's style... 55kg- Crosby finals 60kg- Black finals 63kg- Manville finals 72kg- Way finals 77kg- Baldwin going for bronze 82kg- Artsissheuskiy finals 87kg- Wyatt finals 97kg- Herzog finals 130kg- Attao gold (round robin) Edited June 13 by LJB
MPhillips Posted June 13 Posted June 13 55kg- Crosby finals - Missed it. 60kg- Black finals - Loses 3-3. 63kg- Manville finals - Gold. 72kg- Way finals - Loses 9-9 in last 30 seconds. 82 kg- Artsissheuskiy finals - Gold. 87kg- Wyatt finals - Gold 97kg- Herzog finals - Gold 130kg- Attao - .
LJB Posted June 13 Author Posted June 13 to add to the above- 55kg- Crosby gold 60kg- Black silver 63kg- Manville gold 72kg- Way silver 77kg- Baldwin- actually did not wrestle for bronze 82kg- Artsissheuskiy gold 87kg- Wyatt gold 97kg- Herzog gold 130kg- Attao gold obviously, on a personal level i am a bit disappointed, but, whatever... you can not make any mistakes and still lose in greco and it is almost 100% that if you do make a mistake you lose in international greco... still 6 golds and 2 silvers is another big improvement for the program as compared to last year and we walk with the team trophy... 1
MPhillips Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Very easily could have been eight golds as Way had an error in judgement... .
LJB Posted June 13 Author Posted June 13 26 minutes ago, MPhillips said: Very easily could have been eight golds as Way had an error in judgement... agreed... and if we have our best age eligible at 67, 72, and 77 that is 3 more golds almost assuredly... max doesn't have a brain fart and it is 10 golds... the margins are fine... 1
